Betsabée Romero: Al reverso de la pista / On the Other Side of the Track

Blanton Museum of Art
Austin, Texas
June 14, 2025–January 4, 2026

Romero’s installation will honor her multilayered Mexican heritage, fusing car culture, Catholicism, and Indigenous tradition. In an enclosed space evoking the sacred ball courts of ancient Mesoamerica, she pays homage to Mexico’s autoworkers by mounting engraved and painted Nascar tires lined with brightly colored rebozo shawls and, at either end, car parts arranged to suggest the rose windows of a cathedral.
